Title 10 VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC
Chapter 10.45 DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE
10.45.010 Presumptions concerning the influence.
In any criminal prosecution for a violation of Section
10.45.020 of this chapter relating to driving a vehicle while under the
influence of alcohol, the amount of alcohol in the defendant’s blood at
the time alleged as shown by chemical analysis of the defendant’s blood,
urine, breath, or other bodily substance, shall give rise to the following
presumptions:
A. If there was at that time 0.05 percent or less by weight
of alcohol in the defendant’s blood, it shall be presumed that the
defendant was not under the influence of alcohol.
B. If there was at that time in excess of 0.05 percent but
less than 0.10 percent by weight of alcohol in the defendant’s blood, such
fact shall not give rise to any presumption that the defendant was or was not
under the influence of alcohol, but such fact may be considered with other
competent evidence in determining the guilt or innocence of the defendant. (Ord.
357 § 1, 1978)
